Wow! We Finally Did It!

We haven't really been counting on closing this quickly since there were so many troubles with the appraisal, but in the end, we closed on the house today. I am so very happy for that. We are now home owners. I am so excited for the future that we have before us. I know that it is a long road, but I believe that God wouldn't have opened this window if He didn't have a plan for us. We have been working with Leslie from the mortgage place for quite some time and this past week, she called to say that the first lender backed out because there were problems with the appraisal, and that she had tried a couple of other lenders. Then Thursday evening, she called me back and told me that we are closing on the house Friday at 5:30pm. She gave me directions and when I asked why so soon if we were having issues with the appraisal, she said, she wanted to save us money. If we closed today, we didn't have to bring anything to the table, but if we waited and closed Monday or Tuesday, we would have to bring an entire month of interest to the table. That was not fiesable, so we closed today and all is good. I am sitting here enjoying a Mikes Hard Lemonade, which I don't do often, but I thought that the close on the house was enough to allow myself to drink one. I don't drink on a regular basis... I mean it has been probably almost 2 years since I had anything with alcohol in it. I could take it or leave it, but sometimes, I enjoy a MHL. Kenzie is doing well. She is missing her friends from her old school. Her teacher Amanda Monroe called to check on her today and said for us to keep in touch... Maddie is doing really well. Growing like a weed. I have to load all the pics on my camera to the computer and then order prints so that I can clear the memory card. Dustin and Candice filled it up when they had the baby and I haven't cleared it since. Ryan is doing good. Angel is getting used to all of us. And I work this weekend, so I will be going to bed in about an hour. Talk to you all next week!
Love,
Dawn

    I am so glad all that is over. I am telling you, I was about to pack my oxygen and cart my arse up there and wring someone's neck!

    You know who.

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
